Study Notes

Heart Valves

The atrioventricular (AV) valves separate the atria from the ventricles.
There are two types of valves in the heart: atrioventricular (AV) valves and semilunar valves.
The tricuspid valve has three cusps or leaflets.
The mitral valve lies between the left atrium and the left ventricle.
There are two semilunar valves in the heart.
The tricuspid valve separates the right atrium from the right ventricle.
The mitral valve has two cusps or leaflets.
The semilunar valves are composed of three leaflets.
The valves in the heart permit blood to flow from the atria to the ventricles and from the ventricles to the arteries.
